FILE -- In this Sept. 29, 2016 file photo, fighters of the Libyan forces affiliated to the Tripoli government, look from their vantage point as plumes of smoke rise after an airstrike over an Islamic State militant held area of Sirte, Libya. On Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2016, the Islamic State group lost the battle for the city of Sirte, its only foothold in Libya, essentially ending the militants’ ambition to expand its self-styled “caliphate” beyond Syria and Iraq. But that victory only opens the door for Libya’s multiple armed factions to potentially turn on each other in a new showdown. It is likely to be over control of oil, the North African nation’s only real source of revenue. less
